I was uncomfortable with some of the glorification of violence... Holy cow how was this not rated R? Because they didn’t drop F bombs or show titties??? My god, America get your priorities straight! Also took minor issue with the physics-defying invincibility of the characters as it removed a lot of tension from the…

Favorite grilled cheese fillings? I like tomato, onion, and either pesto or a sauce like Mac Sauce, Thousand Island, or greek yoghurt with Sriracha mixed in. 

I switched to Home Chef after trying Blue Apron, Plated, and others for a few months each. Home Chef’s recipes were on average easier and the portions were more realistic for a meal. Blue Apron and Plated left us hungry.

Class always tells.

The closest study I’m aware of on this found most people tend to predict their futures will go better than they actually do. The success of a project. Our health. Earnings. The vast majority of people are wrong about how good those things will be.

It’s a good point. That was kind of where I was going - but I don’t think the two sides are equal, objectively. For every great meal you enjoyed for half an hour, there was a lifetime of suffering for another animal. For every product created and transported, the environment was polluted. For every great book printed,…

Let’s leave that to someone with the appropriate credentials. I’d hope they’d touch on the idea that being happier by caring less is not necessarily the ethical path to go down, but we’re talking about self preservation here. The ethical path would probably mean dedicating your life to reducing as much suffering as…

Compassion is generally intertwined with empathy - how do you see them separated? To me, empathy is the catalyst and compassion is the reaction. Regardless, “compassion fatigue” is a common psychological condition for those intimately aware-of and exposed-to the suffering of others. A Tibetan monk is deeply aware of…

Reality is objectively terrible and probably all for nothing. But the reality for realists may be reality isn’t worth caring about much - at least a lot of the negative stuff since it’s out of our control. We are surrounded by suffering every second of the day; more than any one could feel empathy for without dying…

The self checkouts at some stores including the one I go to are designed so you can bag your groceries while someone else starts scanning theirs. These ones have little dividers you can swing out to separate the groceries. But these might be bigger than the ones you have; they’re maybe 2/3rds the size of a regular…

For what it’s worth, these are almost entirely plastic, so paying extra for the “stainless steel” version is meaningless outside of color matching your other bathroom accessories.

Most of ya’ll are underestimating the cleaning power of soapy water rinsing down your legs and then drying them with a clean towel, while simultaneously overestimating the cleaning power of soap.

You wear shorts everywhere? Egad. If I wear shorts on the train you bet I’m going to wash my legs with soap... but if I didn’t work out and I was just lounging, why dry out my skin? I also don’t re-wear my clothes if I wear them in public like a theater or on the subway.

Well you let me know if anyone is pirating Keyboardmania for PC. I got the keyboard but it didn’t come with the original software disc :-(

From what I can see, that software is dead dead dead. Konami and Yamaha killed it, the online community forgot about it, and pirates don’t care about it.

I use HyperDock for this, which doesn’t do window management as well, but has a host of other nice features that I really appreciate.

Not for many people with ADD. The drugs work completely differently.

There are countless people with doctorates involved in making drugs. Your primary care physician just isn’t likely to be one of them.

Not arguing with you that it’s different from the organization’s definition, just that I didn’t make them up and they are in common use. It’s not a completely recent thing either. Though I included recent research papers because that’s just good practice (and easy!), I could have just as well included papers and books…

MacBooks don’t run iOS. They run MacOS aka OS X. You could have probably reformatted the hard drive and installed the latest MacOS supported on your hardware (Lion, I believe) and probably have seen a similar speed boost. I generally find OS X is a little more responsive than Windows on the same hardware (I use both…
